Firefly and the Lost Cause
I’ve often been called out for making Civil War comparisons when discussing Firefly. Here I explain why Firefly not only reflects but is based on the Lost Cause mythology of the Confederacy.
For further background on how secession was framed at the start of the American Civil War, battlefields.org has plain text copies of several of the Confederate States' declarations of causes for secession up at https://www.battlefields.org/learn/primary-sources/declaration-causes-seceding-states You can see how slavery is mentioned _a lot,_ but often framed in terms of the second-order effects of Northern policy damaging their economy, infringing on sovereignty, etc. It varied by state of course, Virginia kept it vague with references to the Federal government "perverting said powers" granted it, while Mississippi was very clear about slavery being the cause.
